In the past, Microsoft Excel has often been used by default, but not by choice. Thousands of financial professionals and technical experts worldwide still use Excel for their work, building &#8216;monster&#8217; models that are difficult to maintain and evolve, and that often contain errors, small and large. The situation is rarely satisfying, neither for them nor for their senior management team. This is where we can help.
